As expected, Georgia Bulldogs junior tight end Brock Bowers is entering the 2024 NFL draft. Bowers is projected to be a first-round pick in the draft and is considered the No. 1 tight end prospect.
Brock Bowers is the best tight end in the country and arguably the greatest tight end to play college football. He finished his junior season with 56 receptions for 714 receiving yards and seven total touchdowns.
Bowers missed several games this season after suffering a high ankle sprain against Vanderbilt. Bowers, who underwent TightRope surgery, returned for the Ole Miss game. However, he tweaked his ankle again when Georgia played at Tennessee. Bowers returned for the SEC championship against Alabama, but was clearly not 100%.
Bowers won back-to-back national championships to open his career at Georgia. Since Bowers played his first career college game against Clemson in 2021, it was clear Bowers was a star.
Bowers finishes his Georgia career with 175 receptions (third all-time), 2,538 receiving yards (fifth all-time), and 26 receiving touchdowns (second all-time). Additionally, the 6-foot-4, 230-pound tight end accumulated 193 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns in his three-year career.
Georgia football social media is proud of Bowers and excited to see him at the next level.

Throwback to Bowers' unreal fourth down play
Brock Bowers did a lot do wild stuff in a Georgia uniform. Don’t forget the plank he pulled off in Atlanta last year. Without it, Georgia’s comeback against Ohio State would have ended before it ever began. One of the more athletic plays I’ve ever seenpic.twitter.com/VqR25IIzgI

One of the best players in SEC history
Brock Bowers just declared for the 2024 NFL Draft
I don't think I've seen a tight end as good as him play in the SEC — and he was dynamic from Day 1

High praise for Bowers
Doubt there will ever be another player like Brock Bowers.
Not only from a skillset and performance standpoint, but the human is even better than the player.
A player that will go down as the Greatest of All Time.

Bowers just misses record
Brock Bowers finishes his college career with 2,731 total career yards.
He was just 170 yards shy of breaking Dennis Pitta’s record for most career yardage by a tight end in college football history. And nearly broke it in just three years.
The greatest to ever do it.🐐
